    Hi everyone,

    What would you do? I found a set of Nightshade wheels. One of them is scuffed up, the other 3 are in great condition. Tire mileage is very low, around 300 miles. Would you swap them out or get a different set up wheels all together? I am a bit irked at how the 19s reduce MPG by quite a bit... first world problem.

    Wheels are not that hard to rework when they're scuffed up. Had Model S silver Wheels with curb rash & 2000 yamaha silver motorcycle tank paint matched it perfectly after just a tiny bit of filing & sanding. It was so good that when we sold it, the dealership couldn't even tell.
